GoodSend: The File Transfer Service That Tracks Downloads

Overview

GoodSend is a secure file transfer service that provides comprehensive tracking capabilities, allowing you to monitor the entire delivery process of your files. For just $1.50 per send, you can transfer large files securely and keep tabs on exactly what happens to them after you click "send."

Tracking Features

GoodSend provides three levels of tracking for every file you send:

1. Email Delivery Tracking - Confirmation when your email is successfully delivered
2. Email Open Tracking - Notification when recipients open your email
3. Download Tracking - Alert when files are downloaded by the recipient

This complete visibility ensures you always know the status of your important file transfers.

   • Opens the email
   • Downloads the files

All tracking data is available in your GoodSend dashboard in real-time.

2. Navigate to "Settings" > "Notifications"

Quick Tips

• For Critical Files: Send a test file to yourself first to confirm tracking works as expected
• Maximize Visibility: Schedule sends during business hours when recipients are likely to open and download promptly
• Avoid Expiration: Set calendar reminders for 5 days after sending to follow up on undownloaded files
• Multiple Recipients: Send files individually rather than to a group for person-specific tracking
• Security Best Practice: Even with tracking, follow up with recipients for sensitive files to confirm receipt
• Save Credits: Purchase credits in bulk when you know you'll be sending multiple files to maximize value
